SIP has been there long before Skype and is still the default in most corporate environments. There are tons of clients supporting SIP (even most Cisco products). Maybe there are event protocol extensions to handle video chat. I think there are pretty nice combinations of XMPP and SIP around to combine classical text based messengers with VOIP. AFAIK Google Talk uses XMPP+SIP. (Btw. XMPP is also older than Skype ... ;-)) -- Best Regards, Andreas -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
